Dissapering DD's after patch

[Roadking]

Has anyone else experienced DD's disappearing?  No smoke involved either. I play DD's as well, and I was in my Murmansk. Even when they fired at me they did not become visible. There were two separate DD's after me as we 3 were the last in the battle. So all this happened right at the end of the battle. All I could do was try and shoot where I saw the shell arc coming from.

One player tried to tell me it is a latency issue. I run 3meg DSL bc thats the best I can get in my area. My computer is a homebuilt by me. Asus p877 deluxe mb, i7 3770K 3.5Gb cpu, 32GB corsair vengence ram, radeon 7950 3gb dddr5 video card. 120Mb SSD. I am running windows 7 64 bit operating system.

I've never experienced this before. I've been playing wow since closed beta.

Was wondering if any others have had this this to happen??

There are a few DDs that can sit in a sweet spot and fire their guns and still be undetected. The Sims with module upgrades and the commander skills can. I know I can in my Nicholas. They are DDs though just follow the shells and get closer.

Having the same problem too. Pain when you have them lined up for a barrage and they are just gone.

 

By the way just love this game

This should be fixed or it is like they have a cheat!

Not good very very bad. If they have that sweet spot then so should the rest of us!

I too have had this problem along with other ships doing the same.  Example I am in a Phoenix and there are 2 Omaha's running together 1 at 10 km and 1 at 7 km distance the Omaha at 7 km will disappear when I fire at it while the 1 at 10 km remains visible. No dd's around and if I zoom out no smoke screen anywhere near them. This happens in almost every game so i'm not sure what to think.  I hope if this is a glitch it is fixed before the game goes live.

I just love being the victim of the "first blood" and "devastating strike" when a DD suddenly appears next to my ship within 3Km with a full salvo of torpedos already in the water within 1km-2km from my ship giving me less than 1  or 2 seconds to do anything before i'm blown up.  Of course there is no smoke screen and this is at the beginning of the match so there are usually no friendly planes in the air or around my area.  Not sure if this happens to anyone else but so far the only solution I have found is to go 1/2 speed and let anyone else on my team be the sacrificial lamb on a cap.

Yep I am having DD's disappear a lot and some cruisers too.

I have that issue also, not with just DD's all classes!  Pain in the As_!  But DD's are especially bad, and I have them disappear until they are 3k away and then "boom," torpedoed and dead, and then I've had another DD at 5k and I can see him fine.  I have been playing since open beta started and have had this issue the whole time and WG told me this is normal game play!  WTH  I understand the "smoke," I understand the hidden behind terrain, but when they can disappear for the whole map East to West, that's crazy wrong.  My computer and graphics card can also handle the game play.
